Chapter 447: Great Power Works Miracles (First update, please subscribe)
The development of excavators and loaders cannot be completed in a short while. Although Nanyang’s hydraulic technology is very mature, it involves new types of The research on engineering equipment cannot be solved with just a few structural sketches. There are still many technical details that need to be solved, and these take time.
Although he is determined to replace manpower with machinery as soon as possible, Li Yian can only wait for Foton Company to complete the development of excavators and loaders.
However, Li Yi'an was not idle. After returning to Chang'an, he once again drove along the East Coast Expressway to Taiping, which is the petrochemical city in Nanyang. He went there to inspect petrochemical plants and the progress of the main plastics industry.
In the past few years, at Li Yian's request, a batch of PVC, PP, ABS and other plastic production equipment and patented technologies were introduced from the United Kingdom and the United States. Subsequently, Nanyang began research on plastic products. From studying plastic processing equipment to processing plastic parts, there are various technical problems that need to be solved.
However, the application of plastic parts can not only significantly reduce production costs, but also reduce labor hours and also reduce the use of labor.
Since 1949, not only Li Yi'an has realized that it is necessary to use as much machinery as possible to liberate the labor force, but many other people are also considering this issue.
After all, as we all know, Nanyang’s labor force is limited.
The weekend coincides with the high school graduation exam. Taiping City No. 36 Middle School was recruited as the examination room. Lu Qizhi, as a teacher at the No. 2 Middle School, also became the invigilator.
It was a good weekend and he had to spend it in a boring invigilation, which made Lu Qizhi feel a little irritable.
For Lu Qizhi, spending the weekend squatting in the "laboratory" and working on his own little inventions is a perfect weekend.
Finally, after finishing the invigilation and packing up the test papers, Lu Qizhi was about to leave, but saw the principal standing not far away, waving to him.
Lu Qizhi hurried over and asked:
"Principal, are you looking for me?"
The principal nodded and said with a kind face.
"Teacher Lu, let's talk in the office."
Lu Qizhi followed the principal into the office. The principal actually poured Lu Qizhi a cup of tea himself, which made Lu Qizhi a little flattered.
Then the principal asked:
"Teacher Lu, there is something I want to confirm with you. Have you researched a tamping machine?"
< br>Although he didn’t know why the principal asked this, Lu Qizhi still nodded and said:
"That's what happened! After the sample was made, it was just delivered to the construction site a few days ago."
"Oh, I didn't expect that there was an inventor in our school. He was really buried."
Although the principal's tone was full of admiration, it seemed to have other flavors in Lu Qizhi's ears. He quickly explained:
"Principal, please don't worry. I did it in my spare time. Studying machinery is just a personal hobby and will never affect teaching."
"Teacher Lu, you misunderstood me."
The principal waved his hands and said.
"Teacher Lu, do you know that when you were taking the exam just now, the mayor called and asked about you and the tamping machine. I couldn't explain clearly at the time. I just said I would reply later. , the mayor asked personally, and said that the tamping machine you invented is very effective and worthy of promotion."
"What? How did he know?"
He looked at the principal with confusion on his face.
This is just an invention, why did it alarm a big shot like the mayor?
In fact, what Lu Qizhi didn't know was that it was not only the mayor, but also the president who was alarmed. Originally, Li Yi'an was inspecting the plastic synthesis line of the petrochemical company, but when the car passed the construction site, he unexpectedly saw a very familiar machine. The equipment - frog type tamping machine, so he stopped the car and asked about it. After learning that the equipment was invented by a teacher from Taiping Middle School, he immediately became interested.
After all, not to mention that tamping in Nanyang still relies on manpower, it is the same all over the world, but who would have thought that in Taiping, we would see a frog type tamping machine that relies on an electric motor to drive an eccentric wheel for tamping. machine.
After learning that it was a local invention, Li Yian became interested and immediately contacted the school.
Soon, Lu Qizhi and his party arrived at the petrochemical company, and finally met the big shot. If the mayor is a big shot, then the person in front of him... is a legend!
"General, President..." Lu Qizhi was in a daze, and the principal was simply stunned and speechless.
Who would have thought that we would see the president here.
Seeing their appearance, Li Yian slowed down and said:
"Teacher Lu, your invention is very good. Tell me, how did you come up with it? "
"Sir, no, no, Your Excellency, it's like this. Last year, a fellow villager happened to be at the construction site. When I went to find him, I saw five or six people on the construction site working together to lay the foundation. So I was wondering if I could design a type of ramming machine to reduce the work intensity of workers. I thought about it and figured it out. In fact, the thing is not complicated, just a rammer, ramming frame, eccentric block, pulley and motor. The working process is driven by a belt, using the centrifugal force of the eccentric block to make the tamping body vibrate up and down, thereby compacting the material. At the same time, the centrifugal force is used to allow the body to move on its own. ”
Slowly, Lu Qizhi became less nervous. Li Yian smiled after listening to his explanation.
“This invention of yours is very good. Even though it is just a small invention, it improves the construction efficiency. The construction efficiency of the mechanical tamping machine is several times or even ten times faster than the traditional manual earth compaction. It also improves the construction efficiency. Quality. Mechanical compacted earth hammering has high frequency and high impact force, which is conducive to the close connection between soil particles, thereby improving the stability and compactness of the soil. "
And the most important thing is to save manpower!
Li Yian has seen on documentary films that tamping large construction sites currently relies on either road rollers or manpower, where five or six people lift up stone tampers and compact them vigorously.
This small device looks inconspicuous, but it fundamentally solves the problem.
Later, Li Yian continued to ask Lu Qizhi if he had any other inventions. When he learned that he already had more than 20 patents, he smiled and said to the principal beside him.
"Principal Cheng, you are not bad, you have trained an inventor in the school!"
Hearing this, the principal immediately smiled and praised Lu Qizhi, and then Li Yian said again asked.
"Teacher Lu, have you found a suitable investment for your tamping machine?"
"Huh? Who is the investor?"
Hearing this, Li Yian said to the mayor on the side.
“Mayor Lin, look, this shows that our publicity is still in place. We need to tell these inventors that their inventions can be turned into wealth, and venture capital is also willing to invest in their inventions. "
Your Majesty has said so. As the mayor of a city, what can Lin Xuexian say? He said quickly.
"What you said is true. It was our mistake."
Li Yian then chatted with Lu Qizhi for a while before personally sending Lu Qizhi to the car.
Of course, reporters filmed the whole process, and soon a news story about "His Excellency the President meets with private inventors" will appear in the newspapers.
Although it is just a seemingly inconspicuous little invention, it can send a signal to the world and tell everyone that Nanyang values invention and creation.
On the way out of the petrochemical plant, Lu Qizhi's mood was indescribable. He never expected to be interviewed by the president because of an invention. He was in such a good mood that he even had two drinks that day.
At this time, Lu Qizhi did not realize that he would soon become a millionaire because of this invention. After all, this kind of tamping machine is needed on every construction site in Nanyang. His invention not only speeds up the speed of foundation tamping, but also releases a lot of manpower for Nanyang, which has insufficient human resources.
In just a few months, this simple structure of the machine. It was rapidly promoted in Nanyang. As the inventor, Lu Qizhi gained a lot of wealth, and of course he also got the nickname "Mr. Hong". Even the brand he owns has become "Mr. Ram".
And all this is just the beginning. As the news was published, everyone saw that Nanyang attached great importance to invention and creation. More and more people, like Lu Qizhi, were engaged in various inventions and innovations, although their levels were uneven.
But the atmosphere of the entire society is changing towards one that encourages innovation and invention. It is precisely this change in trends that makes Nanyang develop in another direction without hesitation...
